I’m a sucker for peanut butter and jam, so created this chia pudding to satisfy my inner kid. I LOVE the layers and how satisfying this one is… AND it’s packed with plant-based protein and omega-3 fats! Of course, you can make it all in advance and have it for the week ahead which is…
Black Bean Mushroom Burger
We waited for a LONG time for weather like this… and it finally feels like summer has arrived! I was so excited to partner with Sandhill Wines again to show off their world-class wines with a couple of wine pairings with some simple fresh recipes, like this Black Bean Mushroom Burger that pairs PERFECTLY with…
Baked Mushroom Herb Polenta
There are few things more challenging than getting a healthy dinner on the table after a busy day! I swear that it’s one of the hardest parts of being an adult (let’s not get started on taxes and laundry). I sure have a bigger appreciation for my mom these days! Polenta is one of those…

I mean, putting on…
Granny’s Borscht (vegan option)
I bought a heap of beets the other week to make lazy beet rolls the other week (beet greens are THE BEST), and was left with a bit of a beet overload situation on my hands. It’s noon on Sunday and I’m still in my PJ’s BUT I have a big pot of this soup…
Green Goddess Avocado Pasta (vegan)
This has to be one of my favourite pasta dishes on earth! Brimming with flavour from fresh garlic, mounds of fresh basil, lemon juice and zest in a base of healthy avocados, this vegan avocado pasta sauce is velvety rich without the guilt.
Quick & Easy Plant-Based Lunch Ideas
As a busy mom trying to juggle so many different priorities, it’s never been more important to keep myself healthy… and never so difficult! For some reason lunches are the most challenging for me, the days seem to just disappear before I know it. I’m sure I’m not the only one!
